Hippocampus - Sketch Card

Perna Studios is very excited to announce our twelfth trading card set entitled Creatures of Myth and Legend. This set will focus on creatures from myths and legends like Bigfoot, the Mothman, the Jersey Devil, Loch Ness Monster, the Chupacabra and many more with a few creatures from mythology added into the mix like Hippocampus, Kelpie, Manticore etc.... (This set was released in early June 2019).





I drew this sketch art card of a Hippocampus for the Creatures of Myth and Legend trading card set.





Hippocampus (Hippocamp or Hippokampoi or Hippocampi) - In Greek mythology the Hippocampus has typically been depicted as having the upper body of a horse with the lower body of a fish. The ancients believed they were the adult-form of the small fish we call the "sea-horse". Hippokampoi were the mounts of Nereid nymphs and sea-gods, and Poseidon drove a chariot drawn by two or four of the creatures.
